Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: Survey the prevalence of refractive errors in primary school and secondary school students in 3 provinces (2017). Materials and Method: cross-sectional survey community-based, 1056 students. Results: The proportion of students with untreated eye problems and that of students with uncorrected refractive error are currently quite high (at respectively 18.52% and 24.64%), especially in urban areas in Da Nang and Hai Duong provinces. Among every three children with refractive errors (RE), two of them have not received appropriate correction. Conclusion: this indicates that efforts toward detecting school students with poor vision at school needs further investments to mitigate the current problems.
